Dear Reader : 


March, 1923. 


In presenting this work the author-compilers desire to disclaim 
any appearance of pedantry. Our only purpose has been to furnish 
a useful guide to Masonic literature. We cordially invite all those 
who find themselves interested to offer such suggestions as they may 
deem worth while. In particular we would like to have our atten¬ 
tion called to errors which, despite our vigilance during the year 
that this work has been in preparation, have undoubtedly crept 
into the pages. 

Secondly, may we have your opinion as to the value of the se¬ 
lections made and answers to the following questions: 

Does our list omit any valuable works which you think should 
have been included? If so, please furnish transcript if possible of 
the title page, a statement of the number of pages and size of the 
work; date and place of publication and such other comment about 
the work as you may consider useful. 

Thirdly. The preparation of the list of important pamphlets 
was exceedingly difficult. Additions to that list will undoubtedly 
be numerous. If you know of any that should have been included, 
we shall greatly appreciate your courtesy if you will supply us with 
data. 


Lastly, if you find any works included in this list which in your 
opinion might as well have been omitted, will you kindly give us 
the reasons for your conclusions? 

Yours truly, 

Wisconsin Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Research

EXPLANATION 

The Boyden Classification of Masonic 
Literature, used in this compilation, divides 
the entire realm of Masonic literature into 
ten classes. In order to fit into the Dewey 
Decimal System, which is accepted as 
standard in the classification of general li¬ 
braries, the letter “M” for “Masonry,” is 
substituted for the numbers “366.1” of the 
Dewey System. For purposes of subdivi¬ 
sion two digits are used to indicate the par¬ 
ticular class in which any book belongs. 
The first of the two digits shows the main 
classification; the second shows the first 
sub-classification. For instance, Boyden’s 
first class, General Works, is designated 
“MOO,” and the fifth class, Charity and Edu¬ 
cation, “M40”. 

Boyden’s ten great classes are: 

MOO General Works (Subdivisions indi¬ 
cated by M01 to M09) 

M10 History and Philosophy (Subdivi¬ 
sions Mil to M19) 

M20 Customs and Paraphernalia 
M30 Jurisprudence 
M40 Charity and Education 
M50 Art and Architecture 
M60 Literature and Music 
M70 Societies Admitting Only Masons 
M80 Women in Masonry—Co-Masonry 
M90 Negro Masonry 
The purpose of this compilation is to as¬ 
sist librarians of Masonic libraries, or of 
general libraries having a division devoted 
to the literature of Masonry, to classify 
their possessions and determine the works 
they need to fill out a well balanced library.

We disclaim any pretense to complete¬ 
ness in this work. It is eclectic and is in¬ 
tended to be suggestive, rather than ex¬ 
haustive. Nor do we claim absolute ac¬ 
curacy. Our purpose has been to make an 
honest effort to do something not hereto¬ 
fore done, in the hope of giving not only the 
librarian but the student and general reader 
useful guidance and material. The selection 
of books, comments and observations in the 
main body of the work are those of Brother 
Shepherd.

Compiler's Comment 


Adams, John Quincy Letters on the Ma¬ 
sonic Institution, by John Quincy 
Adams. Boston, 1847. 8vo 284 pages 

M19.1 

This is one of the best known of the anti-Masonic 
works because of the high standing of the author 
as a citizen. We know of no equally well in¬ 
formed man taking his views since the abate¬ 
ment of the anti-'Masonic wave that swept the 
country in the early part of the Nineteenth Cen¬ 
tury. The book is of little value except as a 
curiosity and is out of print.

Volume VII of Quatuor Coronatorum Antigrapha 
is a faithful reproduction of this valuable work, 
giving the first account of the formation of the 
Grand Lodge in 1717. Although the history as 
given by Anderson is known to be incorrect in 
some particulars, it furnishes a basis of knowledge 
about the first Grand Lodge which cannot be 
found elsewhere- This book was the foundation 
of all Masonic Histories until the recent more 
critical school was established. The original is 
very scarce. Essential.

The Pocket Companion which appeared in 1735 
was a cheap and convenient work which became 
popular and ran through many editions- Brother 
Frank H. Marquis gave a full and delightful bib- 
liograhy of the “Pockeit Companion ” in the No¬ 
vember, 1913, number of The Masonic Biblio¬ 
phile of Cincinnati. A copy of this work is neces¬ 
sary. The original is very scarce.

for R. Baldwin, W. Johnston, B. Law 
and Co. and J. Scott, 1764. M10 

The first Pocket Companion was printed in 1735 
and with the many subsequent editions became 
the popular text-book of Freemasons for nearly 
a century. It was superseded to a large extent by 
Preston’s Illustrations of Masonry. A compre¬ 
hensive bibliographical article is contained in the 
Masonic Bibliophile, Vol. 2, No- 8, November, 
1913. Necessary but very scarce.

have known his genius.

An Edinburgh edition of this work was published 
with the title of “History and Philosophy of 
Freemasonry and other Secret Societies.” 12mo 
180 pages. This is a work of considerable merit. 
The author has enriched it with a large fund of 
historical matter bearing on the probable deriva¬ 
tion of our teaching from the ancient mysteries. 
The work includes a reproduction of the essay of 
Thomas Paine on Freemasonry. This is a scarce 
item and the reproduction gave many an oppor¬ 
tunity ito read Paine’s views. Out of print; good.

Masonic literature has but few works of fiction— 
too few. This is a delightful story with a high 
moral purpose.

The first edition was printed in 1813- The Oliver

best. 

Barruel, Abbe Memoirs Illustrating the 
History of Jacobinism. Translated 
from the French. London, 1798 4vols 
8vo M19 

An American edition was published in New York 
in 1799. This work was written by a French clerical 
who was exiled to Engand during the Revolution 
and who advocated many theories regarding Free¬ 
masonry which were purely imaginary. The work, 
however, contains, much that is valuable. Out of 
print.

his presentation. 

Birch, Una Secret Societies and the French 
Revolution, together with some Kin¬

1911. 12mo 263 pages M17.944 

The title essay is well worth the price of this book 
and it contains other studies of much importance. 
This is especially true of the studies on St. Germain

by Albert F. Calvert, P. M., and P. Z. 
London, 1916 8vo M16.6 

An excellent biographical sketch of one of the best 
known and most beloved of Masonic instructors. 
“Gilkes was an ardent Mason for forty years and so 
intimately and entirely were his energies devoted to 
the interests of the fraternity, that it may be said 
of him, that during this period he was a Freemason 
and nothing else.” His work in the Emulation 
Lodge of Improvement made this one of the most 
popular workings in England. His instructions in 
the ritual in England may be compared to those of 
Moore, Mackey, Morris, Dove and Barney in Ameri¬ 
ca. His work was to teach an established ritual, 
rather than to improve and change it, as did some of 
the earlier ritualists, such as Preston and Dunckerly.

Regulations, Decisions and Opinions 
upon Questions of Masonic Jurispru¬ 
dence, by George Wingate Chase, Bos¬ 
ton, 1865. 12mo 432 pages M30 

The works of Mackey, Simons, Lockwood, Chase 
and Look are the only textbooks on jurisprudence 
in the U. S., and as all were written many years 
ago, the field is open for a well qualified Masonic 
jurist to compile an up-to-date work on this sub¬ 
ject. Until this is done we shall continue to use 
these older works with such modifications as re¬ 
cent decisions have made necessary. Refer, how¬ 
ever, to the Lectures on Masonic Jurisprudence by 
Prof. Roscoe Pound. Out of print; essential.

This is Dr. Churchward’s most pretentious work. 
The many illustrations are of importance in learning 
about symbolic teaching in general. Although most 
readers probably will not concede the antiquity of 
the signs and ceremonies described by Dr. Church¬

thorough revision of the text. Chapters have been 
added to deal with such related matters as the 
Order of High Priesthood, The Ancient Arabic Or¬

Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, 
and the Order of the Eastern Star. The compre¬ 
hensive index is especially adapted to the student’s 
needs, and there is a section at the beginning of the 
book explaining how to study Masonry. This work 
is both complete and authenticated by the latest re¬ 
search. Essential.

Brother Coleman is well known as a Masonic lec¬

His work treats of the ever-interesting parts of the

are noted. Out of print.

As a history of the present institution, this work is

This was the first edition of the “Book of Consti¬

wielded a far-reaching influence. The other editions 
were issued in 1764, 1778, 1800. 1801. 1807 and 1813.

The division of the Craft into “Ancients” and “Mod¬ 
ems” from the middle of the Eighteenth Century 
until the Union of 1813 is one of the most interesting 
parts of the Grand Lodge era. The differences were 
happily adjusted and no controversy exists. A thor¬ 
ough understanding of the historical aspects of 
the schism can be obtained only by reading the con¬ 
temporary literature of both factions. Dermott was 
the acknowledged leader of the “Ancients”^ and this 
was their standard textbook. Scarce; desirable.

torical Reference. By Robert Freke 
Gould, London. Spencer’s Masonic De¬ 
pot, 1879. 4to 82 pages Ml7.942 

This work contains considerable material for ref¬ 
erence. Lane’s “Masonic Records” has given lists 
of lodges more completely and has dealt with the 
subject matter at greater length but this contains 
data not available elsewhere. Essential.

Thomas C. Jack, 45 Ludgate Hill, 1885. 
4to M10 

This work is generally conceded to be the most ex¬ 
haustive and reliable history extant. When it was 
written, Brother Gould immediately became the rec¬ 
ognized historian of Freemasonry and although 
several writers have specialized on particular phases 
of Masonic history, he still retains his position of 
eminence. There is also an Edinburgh edition and 
a four volume American edition. Essential.

ciety, by Robert Freke Gould. London, 
1899. 12mo 223 pages M13 

One of the most readable books this gifted author 
has written. The military Lodges were of suffici- 


52 


ent importance to make a knowledge of their his¬ 
tory necessary for those who wish to be well in¬ 
formed on the subject of the transmission of the 
ritual and on many phases of our present jurispru¬ 
dence. Essential.

Second Edition, Leicester, 1913. Bro. Hughan had 
a rare gift of discrimination and was able to place 
the important facts relating to Freemasonry before

the Craft in a clear and forceful manner. The In¬ 
troduction is an historical essay of great value for 
reference. Dr. Dassigny’s work is of such impor¬

in 1895, the original contains a certified transcript 
of eleven of the old manuscripts, which are omitted 
from the revised edition. Both editions are desir¬ 
able. 

Bro. Hughan has done more to bring the study of 
Freemasonry to a systematic and critical stage than 
any other writer. The study of the organization has 
been his particular field of endeavor and to this he 
has devoted an amount of research which cannot be 
over-estimated. The records of the Craft were his 
specialty and in this work we have the results.

This is one of the best works on Freemasonry. The 
second edition is corrected and revised to accord 
with the later studies of the author. The history of 
the rise of the degrees is so obscure that most care¬ 
ful study must be made to enable one to come to 
any satisfactory conclusion. Hughan’s works are all 
Masonic classics. This one is particularly valuable.

Whether Masonry evolved from an operative guild 
or simply took form and organization from the

The first edition of this work was published in 
1874 since which time it has gone through many 
editions. If a Mason could have but one book on

choose. If he has an extensive library, he needs this 
encyclopedia for constant reference. This is the 
best of the many encyclopedias that have been com¬

Oliver, George Freemasons’ Treasury, by 
George Oliver, London, 1863. Mil 

One of the best of Oliver’s works- A criticism 
that has been 'freely made regarding Oliver, is 
that hie mixes tradition and history to such an ex¬ 
tent that the reader is apt to take as facts state¬ 
ments that are intended to be understood as tradi¬ 
tion. E. T. Carson says “I have the greatest 
respect anid veneration for the memory of Dr. 
Oliver. I don’t believe he ever made a wilful 
misstatement in his life.” Out of print; desirable-

Contained in Vols- 11 and 12 of the Universal

It contains so much 'regarding legends which have 
become parts of the rituals of various rites, that 
a brother acquainted with those rites recognizes 
the source of much that might otherwise seem ob¬ 
scure. It gives color to the theory that at the 
formation of the ‘first grand lodge, certain tradi¬

others were cast aside and later brought into the

This little book is valuable both from an histori¬ 
cal and from a ritualistic standpoint. Sadler be¬ 
lieved verbal uniformity of little importance, but 
was firmly convinced that adherence to forms and 
customs that have worked well in the past was de¬ 
sirable, and that innovations have caused much 
trouble. Essential, scarce.

Life, Labors and Letters, Including 
Some Masonic and Naval Memorials of

This is generally conceded to be one of the best 
of the Masonic biographies. Thomas Dunckerley 
was prominent in Masonic life during the last 
half of the 18th Century and the book is full of 
information regarding that important era. Dunc¬ 
kerley was a prominent ritualist and may have 
done more than merely transmit the work. Es¬
